Hi, I am using createTopic function to create a Topic , i then bind it to a jndi context. I can lookup to that topic if the application server is running on the same machine as that of the client. If the client connects to the server running on a remote machine, the lookup does not happen unless and until the topic name is present in the application-client.xml. How do i solve the problem?
